The heater is only intended for use
WARNING
in the temporary heating of a build-
ing or structure under construction, alteration,
or repair.
Never use propane heater inside homes, garages,
crawlspaces, recreational vehicles, or other
partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can build up in these areas.
Placement
Risk of fire. Never position heater
WARNING
at a downward angle or towards
combustible materials. This heater must be lo-
cated away from combustible surfaces by no less
than 7' from the front of the heater, 4' from the
sides of the heater, and 6' from the top of the
heater. Heater must be placed on a level surface
and the flow of combustion and ventilation air
not be obstructed.
Position the heater properly before use. Locate
heater on stable and level surface if heater is run-
ning and at least 10' (3 m) from and not directed
toward propane containers within 20'.
1. Provide adequate ventilation.
2. Maintain minimum clearance from combustibles:
Front 7' (2 m), Sides 4' (1.2 m), Top 6' (1.8 m),
Tank 10' (3 m).
3. Make sure the power source is disconnected from
the heater.
4. Use an adjustable wrench to connect the propane
(LP) hose to the heater inlet. Tighten securely.
5. Hold the regulator firmly and attach the other end
of the hose to the propane (LP) tank valve. Check
that the connection is not cross-threaded, and
tighten securely by hand.
6. Insert the battery pack or connect the power cord.
Using Propane (LP)
Propane (LP) is highly flammable and may ignite
unexpectedly when mixed with air. The propane
(LP) cylinder used with this heater must meet the
following requirements:
1. Constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transporation (D.O.T.) or the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for Transportation
of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
2. Measurements: 12" diameter x 18" tall with 20 lb.
maximum capacity.
3. Cylinder valve must have:
• Cylinder connection device (Type 1) compatible
with the connector for the heater
• Safety relief valve
• UL listed Overfill Protection Device
(OPD). This OPD safety feature is
identified by a unique triangular
handwheel. Use only propane (LP) cylinders
with this type of valve.
4. Arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to
protect propane (LP) cylinder valve. Always keep
propane (LP) cylinder in upright position during
use, transport, or storage.
SET UP
Testing the Propane (LP) Cylinder
1. Make sure the propane (LP) cylinder is discon-
nected from the propane (LP) hose and regulator.
2. Using a clean paint brush
and a 50/50 mixture of
mild soap and water,
brush soapy solution
over areas indicated by
arrows in the figure
shown.
3. "Growing" bubbles indi-
cate a leak. Do not use
or move the propane
(LP) cylinder. Contact a
gas supplier or the fire
department!
4. If you see, smell, or
hear the hiss of escap-
ing gas from the propane (LP) cylinder:
• Move away from propane (LP) cylinder
• Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself
• Call your local fire department
5. If no leaks are present, you may proceed to install
and connect the propane (LP) cylinder.
Connecting the Propane (LP) Cylinder
To avoid serious personal injury,
WARNING
always check for gas leaks any
time the propane cylinder is connected.
Inspect the hose for damage or leaks before each
use. Ensure the propane (LP) hose is securely
tightened before each use. If the hose is dam-
aged, exposing the inner mesh, replace immedi-
ately. The replacement hose assembly shall be
that specified by the manufacturer.
To connect:
1. Using an adjustable wrench
(not provided), screw the
open end of the propane (LP)
hose to the propane (LP)
inlet on the heater. Tighten
securely.
NOTE: Retain the rubber
cap and reinstall to prevent
damage to the propane (LP)
inlet and when storing the heater.

2. Make sure the handwheel on the propane (LP)
cylinder is in its full off position, then remove the
cap from the cylinder valve.
3. Hold the regulator firmly and insert the nipple into
the cylinder valve.
NOTE: Nipple must be centered in the cylinder
valve.
